Griffin Beverage

Griffin Beverage is a great starter company. That is about where it ends though. The best part about being a sales representative here is the free car and the ability to get your work done quickly and effectively and usually be done a bit early most days. That is about where it ends. If you want a job riddled with ineffective upper management, poor company culture, and sub par pay, then it will be a great fit for you. I learned pretty quickly that there was no room for advancement here either, unless you move up into a team leadership role. And even those roles pay poorly compared to a lot of the rest of the industry. Be warned if you come to work here, you will not be appreciated and you will soon find another place to work for. 

Like any other company they worry about their bottom line more than yours, there is some favouritism but if ya work your hours and don't complain too much you'll do fine. Mechanics aren't the best. But as long as the dispatcher knows you know what your doing they leave ya alone and let ya do your job. Sometimes can get free or discounted soda, beer, free water. The health insurance is 80/20 the optical and dental are 50% reimbursements. Breakdowns they pay for one lunch and all normal reimbursements. If ya want a day off or have a family emergency they are very good about that they won't send you further out and play games with you.

Griffin Beverage has always treated me as a person, not just a number.  The industry is fast paced and constantly evolving.  Keeps you on your toes -  definitely not boring.  Great benefits and matching 401K are nice.  Ever expanding on better ways and more efficient ways to accomplish a task or job.  Collaborative on insights from employees for ideas to improve processes.  Not just a top down approach to improvements and processes.  I am comfortable talking to and collaborating with my supervisor.

A typical day at work is very physically demanding at long hours. I learned many useful skills including fork-truck skills, communicating with co-workers, and leadership skills. The turnover rate is outrageous, I have seen numerous employees come and go in the past two years I have been employed here. The hardest part of the job is the long hours during the busy season, 12 hour shifts for weeks on end. The most enjoyable part of the job is having weekends off, guaranteed.

Being an account manager or relief rep is a good Monday thru Friday job, and you're typically done for the day by 4:30pm. The pay is decent but not exciting, though there are some monthly incentives that you can work towards, but it's not usually more than a few more dollars towards your check; at times they are difficult to achieve. They want you to drive company provided cars, but often they are outdated, dirty, falling apart, rolling trash cans, with a million miles and absolutely no upkeep. 

Ever since new management has taken over, it seems like they don't care about their employees. They always look over current employees that would be qualified for a promotion. Instead, they hire people from outside the company and waste time and money training them, only for them to either not work out or just up and quit. And they don't pay for mileage that you will have to put on your vehicle when doing all the traveling they have you doing. 

while this place is not perfect, it was a real good place to work.  High energy, lots of challenges, get pushed to be better.  Not a huge company, so advancement into management would be difficult- people don't leave.  pay was adequate for the area, but benefits were real good- $12/week for health care- who does that anymore?  and very good about working around my personal schedule.  Downside- lots of hours, but most people willing to lend a hand when needed.

I feel like Griffin beverage was a good place to work while I was in school and it was never a dreading experience going to work. I feel like management could play a bigger role into the success of their employees. I have never worked for a business and did not really know them personally to where I was completely comfortable talking to them. I was not always comfortable going into the office to talk to my bosses.
